Viva! La Fiesta!
I had a Fiesta for my April Birthday Celebration. My family is scattered all over the country; about half of us live on the east coast and the other in the great Southwest. As a result, birthday gifts will often arrive a few days befor, and continue for many days after said birthday,. Thus: Our birthdays are FIESTAs. Arriba!
I served the following at my Fiesta:
Tamale Pie (My own recipe)
Authentic Guacomole (My moms recipe)
Chili con Queso (my semi homemade recipe)
Salsa with Chips (Thank you Pace)
Biscochitos (Cookies traditionally made at Christmas time in Mexican homes and the OFFICIAL COOKIE BY LEGISLATION IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO).
I made napkins with a chili pepper cotton print and all was served with
Gingerale or Peach Margaritas (glasses rimmed with lime and dipped in Red Sugar). We used”wine glass charms with little Red Chili Peppers that I fashioned from Fimo™ clay. Add in a little wooden heart covered with black board paint and each guest’s name printed on it and both were hung on a hooking wire loop .. no doubt who’s margarita glass was who’s.
